ECHO SRM 225 stopped working in the middle of a job. An easy carb rebuild will get it back in shape.

  • If your Echo(or any other small engine) doesn't work, it's going to be a carb problem 95% of the time. I check for spark, then go straight to the carb every time. a weed eater carb rebuild is easier than you might think.

    I just don't have the patience Bill for rebuild with 2 cycle! So I'm here for the Hart bit set and Not that COKE! Cool shirt also, Team Pepsi🤣

      @bigsonslawncare I usually suggest replacing them with a new carb if you don't want to fool with little parts and gasket alignment but 90% of the "new" carbs I use are actually rebuilt leftovers from a different video.

    Good one Bill. I recently fixed an SRM 210 with a Amazon carburetor. I'm planning to rebuild the original on the next one. 👍

      Thanks, I like to keep rebuilt carbs handy but I didn't have one for this one so I went ahead and did it on video.

    I rarely have success with 2 cycle rebuild , occasion will clean will work, but for a few bucks more a new carb is the way togo

      Do you use an ultrasonic or carb cleaner?
      The fuel block on this type also has 2 holes, make sure they are clear if the bulb is slow coming back or hard to push.

      It didn't even fight back this time, it went smoooooth. I have a pair I picked up today that might make for 1 good trimmer, half the parts are broken on each of them so there might be some cussing in that video 😲🤣

      @barryewalt3250 It really is. Around here we say "if you know carbs, you can fix anything". This one was well cared for and stored correctly so it made it 13 years without work.

    Are you getting too many screws to take off and to put back on? I wouldn’t remember how to do that ha ha ha.

    • @GuysPlayingWithTools
      @GuysPlayingWithTools  2 місяці тому

      The trick is to isolate the parts so none wander off. It can drive you crazy when you buy a kit that has replacement bolts in it, and they are still sitting there at the end.
